Today's Dreikönigskirche (Church of the Three Kings) in Neugasse was not completed until 1935. Although the architecture of the building is very simple, its windows radiate impressive splendor. Particularly noteworthy is the large, three-part window in the south wall, which bathes the church in bright, radiant light on Sundays when the sun shines. Instead of a bell tower, the church has a ridge turret in which three bronze bells hang, which were cast in Heidelberg in 1959.

The andesite deposits can be reached via the Flonheim coastal path or the Aulheimer Valley Hiwweltour. Along these paths, you will pass volcanic fractures alternating with the typical Flonheim sandstone.

St. Stephen is a Gothic hall church, famous for the nine stained glass windows by Marc Chagall, which he designed from 1978 as a symbol of Jewish-Christian solidarity. The intense blue of the windows bathes the church interior in a special light, where angels and other biblical figures seem to float. The first window by the then 91-year-old artist was installed in 1978, followed by another eight – six in the east choir and three in the transept. The church is accessible without barriers; public disabled parking is available in Kleine…
